Summary

In "The Luckiest Girl in the School," Angela Brazil masterfully weaves a narrative that captures the spirit of early 20th-century boarding school life. Through the eyes of her protagonist, the novel explores themes of friendship, ambition, and the transformative power of education, all couched in Brazil's characteristic blend of humor and poignancy. The story is set against the backdrop of a richly evoked school environment, filled with vibrant characters and social dynamics that reflect the era's gender norms, making it a quintessential example of the British schoolgirls' fiction genre popular during that time. Angela Brazil, a pioneering author in girls' fiction, drew upon her own experiences as a teacher and her keen observations of adolescent life to create a relatable and engaging narrative. Her background in education and her passion for writing informed her portrayal of the struggles and triumphs faced by young women in the early 1900s, situating her work within a broader context of women's evolving roles in society. Brazil's ability to intertwine personal growth with social commentary is a hallmark of her literary style. For readers seeking an insightful yet entertaining glimpse into the life of young women navigating friendship and ambition, "The Luckiest Girl in the School" is a delightful read. Its enduring themes resonate with anyone who has ever felt both the weight of expectation and the thrill of possibility. Brazil's nuanced characters and engaging plot make it a must-read for fans of classic literature and those interested in the dynamics of female friendships.

    Although he is credited with changing history through his invention of printing, Johann Gutenberg remains mysterious. In Fine Print, author Joann Johansen Burch pieces together Gutenberg's amazing story. When Johann was a child in the early 1400s, books were rare and sometimes very expensive. Each book had to be copied by hand, letter by letter. Gutenberg loved to read, and he often grew impatient waiting for the time-consuming bookmaking process to be completed. Young Gutenberg dreamed of finding a better way to make books. From his childhood in strife-torn Mainz through the many years of setbacks and bankruptcies, Gutenberg persevered in his belief that books could be made quickly and inexpensively. This is the story of the man who invented movable type and the printing press and gave the world the gift of books.

    In a bold and inspiring new storybook Bible for children, Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Dr. Shannon Daley-Harris join a long line of sacred storytellers and question-askers. For thousands of years, people have told stories, sung songs, asked hard questions, and shared experiences to learn about God and how to live as God's people. The big message of the Bible is that God loves us and created us to love God and each other, to do justice, and to love kindness. 
 
The Just Love Story Bible invites you into this big story. This isn't a book of answers but an invitation to ask important questions. People have always wondered about the great mysteries and, most importantly, the great questions of life. What are the best, most loving, and fairest ways to live with each other? Can we believe in something huge and mysterious and invisible like God and still have questions, doubts, and disagreements? What does it look like to be a follower of Jesus? 
 
Through retellings of thoughtfully selected Bible stories, The Just Love Story Bible presents a way to hear how others have also had questions about God, and the answers they discovered; to have your own ideas and ponder your own experiences; and to keep on wondering.

    The pilgrims encountered Fengxian County where people had been suffering drought for three years. The county magistrate issued a notice to recruit masters to summon rain. The monkey accepted the challenge and asked a dragon king for help, but the latter dared not help without an order from the Jade Emperor. Then the monkey went to the Jade Emperor but was told that the magistrate had offended Heaven, so the county would have no rain until a mountain of rice, a mountain of flour, and a gold lock collapsed. The news dispirited the monkey until deities told him that kindness was a mighty power that could destroythe mountains and break the lock. The monkey returned to the mortal world and instructed the magistrate to heal his soul. The rice and flour mountains and the gold lock collapsed immediately. The Jade Emperor then ordered the deities of rain, clouds, and wind to deliver rain to Fengxian County, driving away the prolonged drought.
